Durban Surf Washing Machine Conditions with Cold Rinse by Adam Kamdar #surf #surfing #conditions #fishing #diving #kzn: The east winds have a profoundly bad effect on the ocean here in KZN, South Africa. These notorious winds push strong little swells in from a weird east angle. With a very short swell period down to 6 seconds or so. These winds also causes an upwelling of cold water. And they can reverse the current.

All this results in a choppy and unpredictable swell pattern. That can be extraordinarily difficult to work with.

And an added bonus, are the bluebottles! When the east winds blow, these marine stingers set sail for our shores. Causing untold chaos and pain on our KZN beaches. If you are a victim, head to the lifeguards for assistance – they know the drill when it comes to bluebottles.

After that pretty picture has been painted…over to Adam with his first-hand report right from the Durban Beachfront. Thank you Adam!

Sardine n Sighting Maps

It has been a fantastic sardine run this memorable 2024. And all the action has been logged right here on The Sardine News. This year’s map has been viewed 180,000 times and keeps growing.

Which led us to decide to keep the map live. And keep adding unique marine animal sightings and events. That occurs non-stop all year round. This year we started to log more whale and dolphin sightings. And we even had a shipwreck! And a freaking tornado!

These events will from now on be included in the Sardine News Sightings Map for 2024. And on the 1 January 2025, we shall start all over again.

Here are the links to existing and past Sardine Sighting Maps. Great for another chilly day like today to research. With instructions to install The Sardine News right on your phone or desktop.
